Fermenting in a keg.

[Josh Hughes]

Do you rack off the trub in the keg?

Yes but you can go a few months.

Does anyone have any experience with fermenting in a keg and leaving the beer on the yeast cake, carbing and servings. I know you need a floating dip tube but didn't know how it would effect the flavor of the beer.

I'm at the stage of my brewing journey that I'm all about making the process as simple as possible, so for the last couple of years I do EVERYTHING in one vessel, so mash, boil and ferment in my BIAB kettle and if I decide to ferment in a keg I leave it in my kettle to ferment for about 2 days or so then move it to the keg with a spunding valve to finish the fermentation. Doing so leaves the majority of the trub in the kettle. Working for me so far. I don't even need to use a floating dip tube.

That sounds like a good process.
